Coast to coast, deep-fryer to roast, these are the tastiest chicken wings in America, straight from the menus of some of the country's hottest kitchens

In 1964, this tiny bar, owned by Italian-born couple Frank and Teressa Bellissimo, received a case of chicken wings in a delivery mix-up. Not sure what to do with them—up until then, chicken wings were usually discarded—Teressa deep-fried the wings and tossed them in a mixture of melted butter and Frank's RedHot hot sauce, and a legend was born. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Buffalo wing, an American classic.
